SERVE

Page Content

SERVE is one of the touchstones of our College motto and highlights our priority to be a community that is inspired by the example of Jesus and the Sisters of Mercy to be of service to others and committed to social justice within our local and global community.

It is in the likeness of Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy, the ‘walking nuns’, where we draw our inspiration to be active in our service of others. Our theme for 2017, with the image of the boots along with the Mercy Cross will symbolise this for our community.

In 2017, the College will explore opportunities across the following areas:

Term One – Project Compassion with an awareness on Syria

Term Two – Salvos Door Knock Appeal

Term Three – Vinnies Sleepout to raise awareness for homelessness.

Term Four – Vinnies Christmas Appeal

The College will also explore links with Mercy Works and participate in other opportunities to raise awareness for example White Ribbon Day for Domestic Violence and Mental Health Week.
